Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Continue to cook the butter, as it crackles and pops, until the crackling stops and the solids have turned a medium-brown color.
- Remove from heat and pour the putter into a separate dish, as not to burn it. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the brown butter with the sugar. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Add the egg, and mix until fully incorporated.
- Mix in the vanilla and molasses, then the flour mixture until just combined.
- Scoop the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 7-8 minutes. Cookie will not look done.
- Let the cookies cool a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a cooling rack.
